[Cuga] Call for EIC Detector R&D Proposals - FY19 - a message from Thomas Ullrich

[Lorelei Carlson]

*FY 2019 Call for Proposals*

*Directed Detector R&D for an Electron Ion Collider*

*Summer 2018 Detector Advisory Committee Meeting*

**

In January 2011 Brookhaven National Laboratory, in association with 
Jefferson Lab and the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics, announced a 
detector R&D program to address the scientific requirements for 
measurements at a future Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The primary goals 
of this program are to develop detector concepts and technologies that 
have particular importance for experiments in an EIC environment, and to 
help ensure that the techniques and resources for implementing these 
technologies are well established within the EIC user community.

This program is supported through R&D funds provided to BNL by the DOE 
Office of Nuclear Physics. It is not intended to be specific to any 
proposed EIC site and is open to all segments of the EIC community. 
Proposals should be aimed at developing realistic detector concepts, 
optimizing detection capability to enhance the scientific reach of 
polarized electron-proton and electron-ion collisions up to 
center-of-mass energies of 140𝑍/𝐴GeV and e-p equivalent luminosities 
up to 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1 . Funded proposals will be selected on the basis 
of peer review by a standing EIC Detector Advisory Committee consisting 
of internationally recognized experts in detector technology and 
collider physics. This committee meets twice per year, to hear and 
evaluate new proposals, and to monitor progress of ongoing projects. The 
program is administered by the BNL Physics Department, with limited 
annual funds, subject to availability of funding from DOE NP.

The website for this R&D program is at:

The next meeting of the Detector Advisory Committee is planned for July 
26-27, 2018. The meeting will take place at the Catholic University of 
America (CUA) in Washington DC right before the EIC User Group Meeting 
(also at CUA).

*/New proposals, i.e. proposals that are not associated with any ongoing 
project funded by this program, need to be submitted /**/by May 25, 
2018/**/. New proposals received after this deadline will not be 
accepted. The PIs will be informed in early June if their proposals were 
pre-selected by the EIC Detector R&D Committee and can be presented at 
the July meeting. A pre-selection does not imply approval. This decision 
will be made at the July meeting./*

*//*

*/Continuation and renewal proposals together with the mandatory 
progress reports from ongoing R&D projects for the FY19 funding have to 
be received /**/by June 27, 2018/**/. Proposals received after the 
deadline will not be considered./*

*//*

If you are not sure in which category your proposal falls, please 
contact: thomas.ullrich at bnl.gov <mailto:thomas.ullrich at bnl.gov>

*Preparation and Submission of Proposals:*

In collaboration with the EIC Detector R&D Committee the guidelines for 
preparing proposals have been revised. They also contain a more detailed 
description of what R&D qualifies for funding. The new guidelines are 
more explicit in some areas in order to facilitate the review process:

Proposals should be submitted to:

Thomas Ullrich, Brookhaven National Laboratory

Electronic submission is encouraged: thomas.ullrich at bnl.gov
